Her Hope

Art Journal Challenge

My dear young friend gasps for breath as she drowns in grief. I remind her it's barely been 3 months since her 9 month old son died. Time marches through her tears--tears falling on her upside down world. Her Hope keeps her afloat. I pray for God's full healing of her broken heart.

Additional Info

Oh, Marnie!!! This is an amazing piece of art journaling and art therapy!! So many thoughts and emotions you have captured visually. My heart goes out to your friend and she is so lucky to have you for support.

I just love your page, Marnie. What a great artistic expression of your friend's struggles. I love the way you used the clocks and the upside-down elements in the paint strokes is an excellent choice of design. Beautifully done.

Marnie, my daughter lost her 2-year-old 6 years ago. If I can be of help to your friend, PM me. Speaking from experience, I can encourage you to stand by her, and let her talk about it as much as she wants to. One of her greatest challenges is going to be the isolation she will feel when everyone thinks it's time for her to be "over it." :'(

This is such a powerful way to capture the emotions. My prayers are with your friend.
